Scarbee VKC includes 11 sounds and sample sets of classic vintage keyboards from the 60s and 70s!

Scarbee C.E.P. (Classic Electric Piano) is the sound of a hot-rodded
wonderful electric piano from the 70s with expression and dynamics
ranging from warm and mellow, to bright and ‘barking’, but
can also produce a dulcet bell-like tone very suited to jazz, funk and
R&B. E.E.P. (Edgy Electric Piano) has a dynamic and versatile sound
and tends more towards an 'edgier' sound. Certainly, it can deliver a
'soft and sweet' tone, but its light action allows players to easily
deliver a performance with more 'bite'.

Scarbee S.E.P. (Sticky Electric Piano) has a sound that sonically lies
somewhere between the reedy bite of the E.E.P. and the purer bell tone
of the C.E.P. The result is a vibraphone type tone with a very
percussive envelope and almost no dynamic response due to it's "sticky
hammers".

F.E.P.( Funky Electric Piano) has a big round 'twanging' bottom end and
a top end which is wiry and tight. For many, this is as close as they
will ever get to a sound which could compete with the cut of an
electric guitar. In the the sharp tone and percussive playing style
made it a first choice for many funk recordings where it complemented
funk guitar rhythms like no other instrument. We sampled each of the 4
standard pickup settings: CA, CB, DA, DB - in both a standard version
and a version with mutebar switched ON, resulting in 8 unique sounds!
We also made it possible to switch Standard/Mute with Mod-Wheel.

With the F.E.P. and S.E.P., Scarbee introduces 'Horizontal Release
Technology', whereby release samples are chosen from the wave pool
depending on how long a key has been held - allowing a staccato played
note to create a different release tone to a note which is sustained
for a longer period. To achieve this, each key sampled on the F.E.P.
has 24 release samples assigned to it alone.

The F.E.P. also makes use of advanced triggering options to allow the
inclusion of the occasional 'off center' string strike, a well known
characteristic of the original instrument. Sampled, mapped and
programmed with great love and slavish attention to detail, V.K.C. 1.2
presents all of these classic electro mechanical instruments in their
ultimate form.

A neat little feature for the "Vintage Purist": Play key A-1 and you
will hear original noise from instument looped. With Noise knob you can
adjust the level of the noise - take it completely away if you like a
clean sound with zero hum and hiss!

Scarbee is proud to announce the release of our much anticipated
Vintage Keyboard FX plugin - a virtual rack packed with outstanding
models of a range of different vintage analogue effects processors.

Loaded into the VKFX are eight premium quality effects processors,
including the essential electric piano preamp with stereo tremolo, a
Compressor, Wah (Envelope Filter), Phase Shifter, Chorus Unit,
Overdrive, Tape Delay, and a Valve Amp modelled on arguably the most
popular device ever used to amplify electric keyboards (and the model
includes the four spring reverb).

• Multiple mode switching allows module architecture to alternate
from one popular version of a particular effects processor to another
which has a completely different sonic character - at the touch of a
button.

• Simultaneous editing of all processors is available via a
friendly and intuitive interface presented in the form of a rack of
independent modules.

• Module order can be rearranged by simply dragging and dropping
modules to where they’re needed, giving users fast and total
control over the effects chain.

• Highly CPU efficient coding and module layout means that users
can load the VKFX without the fear of watching a system’s
processor overhead disappear, in the certain knowledge that processing
quality is first class.

• All rates and times can be sync’d to VST host, internal
clock or left independent for a more ‘analog’ approach.
• All parameters are automatable. All parameters are assigned to
midi controllers. • A flexible file management system allows one,
several or all modules to be loaded and saved – enabling easy
mixing and matching of module presets saved from different sessions.
